I met Mr. Read, as a young man, when my brother served with him on the Pawtucket Police force. I remember him being a very kind man.
Just last Thursday, I was having breakfast with a retired Pawtucket officer, when Mr Read came in. I introduced myself and with a big smile, he said, Tommy Flanagan's brother.
We all talked until we had to go our separate ways. He shook my hand as we left and I called my brother to let him know, Mr Read said hi. He was so happy that I had met him...

Dear Mr. Read,
Thank you for your wonderful children. They have all touched our lives in so many ways. We would not be the people we are today without their love and support. So many special times. Our kids still talk about Bobby babysitting them. We are proud to call them our friends.
With love,
Wayne and Donna
